New Band of the Day: BRaIN DEaD

Took me a while to dig much out on this band, but here’s what I have. They’re one of a lot of bands with the name “Brain Dead” kicking around, this particular bunch from LA.

They’ve been around for a couple of years and released their first demo in 2011. Their most recent release was funded as a KickStarter campaign and was fully funded within 12 days including one pledge of $1500 (almost half the target!). Bill Metoyer (former VP at Metal Blade) was brought in as producer so it should be something good.

Brain Dead (however you capitalise it) play no-nonsense thrash metal. Nothing fancy, no meandering down experimental pathways, just neck-breaking thrash. So if you like that kind of things, these could be your boys.
